2 Comments here:
1.) why 'cd /greenstone/gs3 && ant start' when you could just run
'/greenstone/gs3/ant start'.
2.) You're going through a lot of effort to generate a pidfile, when
it's completely unnecesary for systemd services.
You could probably replace the ExecStart with:
ExecStart=/greenstone/gs3/ant start
... and get rid of the PIDFile.
